Christ is Lord. Read your Bible.
>>24777783What reason is there not to worship the hundreds of other gods out there?
I've read all of the NT except revelation.Will read some apostolic fathers.I prioritize them over the OT because I quite liked the catholic epistles and hope to get more in that literary tradition.Recommend me ascetic writings
>>24777797>Recommend me ascetic writingsSayings of the Desert Fathers (either Alphabetical or Systematic collection)
>>24777783Why are christcucks in particular so determined to proselytise their gay beliefs which are based on the flimsiest of evidence? Why don't they go round trying to convince people to believe things that have actually been proven?
>>24777797Check out the Didache, probably 1st or 2nd century handbook, likely originating in Egypt
>>24777807because this faggot thought he was gonna get >>24777777, wasn't even close lol and jesus didn't help his non-repeating digit ass
>>24777783i'm sick of jewish fairy tales
>>24777783Gnostics were right. read the "Forbidden books" of the Bible.
>>24777797Life of St. Anthony (Athanasius)
>>24777816Celsus must have been an absolute trvke factory. Even more so when you realize that all his original works were destroyed and all that we know about him comes from seething “rebuttals” written against him.
>>24777783I was reading Progress of Truth from Morrowind. My mom thought I was reading the bible until she looked lore closely. I then gaslit her into thinking it was.
>>24777796Because the Jews said those are all false gods, and I believed them.
>>24777816>That Lucian quoteOoofff
>>24777783I don’t trust jews even when they’re on sticks.
>>24777799is picrel a good edition?>>24777809Just read it, nice text. Like a micro cathecism.
What does the average day of an angel look like? What about God? Is He just sitting in a recliner observing everything, interfering here and there, ignoring pleas for help here and there? God can't be busy, He's God, limitless perfection purity. Wonder what that rascal is up to most days.

>>24778094CS Lewis' Cosmic Trilogy, particularly the beginning of the 2nd book, Perelandra, covers this in an interesting manner.
>>24778125Is any of that actually in the Bible lol
>>24778130Did I claim to be protestant?Both the tradition of the roman and the byzantine churches are much richer than just the 66 books of holy scripture that protestants call the bible.The nine choirs of angels are a non-dogmatic part of roman catholic tradition and theology, shared with eastern orthodoxy as part of the first christian millenium
>>24778148I guess that's a no
>>24777816>the wailing of the conqueredlol lmao even
>>24778148>*defensive heretical screeching*
Almost done with Leviticus. Considering Eastern Orthodox when I finish.
>>24778192dont' bother if you're american or anglo/germanic of some sort - it's not for you
>>247778166 ancient trvth nvkes
>>24778218This. I get that Catholicism is gay, and the prevalence of charismatic mega church evangelicals makes us Prots look like grifters, but being a Westerner who LARPs as an Ortho with a bunch of swarthy eastern bloc shithole freaks with wispy beards is ridiculous
>>24778188>But muh baybleChristianity didn't freeze in time after Revelation was written down.Even if it was, oral tradition exited and still exists
If op were akshually a sincere, studied Christian they would’ve used “King.” You’re posting in a bait thread.
>>24778192You’re welcome in the Antiochian church. >>24778218>>24778232You’re not welcome in the Antiochian church.
>>24778232i'm actually from the eastern bloc lolbut yeah, it's the same as a westerner taking hinduism seriously - the complete lack of any connection to the "cultural" aesthetic will make it meaningless and "based on vibes". i honestly think you can't really shop around for faith denominations if you actually want to follow something.
>>24778125lmao do christians really believe in this fantasy lore
>>24778290Protestants definitely don't, for them the bible is like an epistemic exception to the logical positivism of the atheist.And not everyone in catholicism and orthodoxy embraces the respective maximalist theology beyond the necessary dogmas
>>24778290As for me personally, I do believe in this, but I also believe in far sillier things
>>24778368Lol
My favorite thing to do is to blasphem the holy spirit in front of christians. You can also try to blackmail (probably wont work) by saying "I will blasphem the holy spirit and be sent to hell for eternity with no chance for forgiveness if you do not do (x). If you are a true Christian, you should care about my future in the afterlife". I've done this several times but I haven't met a serious Christian yet :(
>>24777820>read the [incoherent fanfics written centuries after]
>>24777783I've read the Bible. I wasn't impressed.
>>24777783>>24777777Be like god
